Global warming: startling new theory

From the BBC, so it must be true:

“Termites make up 10% of the Earth’s biomass. They fart more methane into the atmosphere than any other creature.”

(I don’t think that means each.) :astonished:

Thats a weird explanation. Or is it just trying to shift the blame :thinking:

We’re all going to die from termite farts!

That’s sure going to stink.

Interesting facts:

And…

There are about 300 pounds of insects for every 1 pound of human being. It is estimated that there are approximately 10 quintillion (10,000,000,000,000,000,000) individual insects alive. There are 1,017,018 species of insects in the world with some experts estimating that there just might be as many as 10 million species out there.

It is estimated that 100.2% of estimates are inaccurate. It is also estimated that at least 500% of estimates are off by at least one order of magnitude.

Seriously, let this be another proof that estimated numbers are useless without margins of error.

We can all do our part by bringing BEANO for everyone to the next MUni meet. I think unicyclists emit methane too.

terrance and philip don’t help.

here they are with rouldoulph the reindeer.

the earth will survive.

Oh noes! We’re all gonna die! This isn’t the natural way of things!

Beano

We are in the middle of the worst heat wave since forever!

Over 100 degrees Fahrenheit in NYC :astonished:

It seems that way over much of the US. We had a heat index of 115 in Wisconsin on Wednesday… INTERNATIONAL UNICYCLE DAY! WHY???
It was around that temperature for most of this week, except for today. Looks like the Midwest heatwave is now over NY?

I thought it’s been decided that it was the pirates that caused it?

Here it’s much hotter than usual too! Oh wait I remember I just moved to Malta…
